This matter cannot be kept secret.
It would be better to surrender early and ask for mercy.
"Your Excellency the Prefect, the Associate Prefect, and the County Magistrate!"
Under the incomprehensible gaze of the people, Lin the officer knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The reason why Zhao Zhi targeted the land of the little prodigy's family is all because of me, his father-in-law. I beg you to punish him!"
Wow!
Hearing this, the people became angry.
Many people in Zhongjing Lane already disliked Old Man Cui, so they quickly told the story of the feud between the two families.
Old man Cui knelt down on the ground with despair, shaking with fear.
Prefect Song had never thought that there was such a case that could be "remedied", and he was overjoyed.
His face was furious: "What a bad neighbor! Just a small dispute, but he actually wanted to kill me behind my back. You instigated Zhao Zhi to annex land, your crime is unforgivable, come, arrest him quickly!"
The yamen officers immediately arrested Old Man Cui.
Never thought.
Old Cui stood up angrily and looked at Old Cui fiercely: "Let all the adults and everyone present know that this person is not only my neighbor, but also a family member with the same surname and clan as us."
Then, Old Mrs. Cui told all the old grudges she had with Old Man Cui twenty years ago in public.
After hearing this, everyone angrily cursed Old Man Cui as a good-for-nothing.
He actually persecuted my widowed sister-in-law and her family to such a miserable state.
After hearing the whole story, Prefect Song looked a little embarrassed.
It is said that even an honest judge cannot judge family disputes.
This family has been divided for twenty years, which is too long a time, and it was a decision made by the elders of the Cui family themselves.
Even if he is the prefect, he cannot re-judgment this family case.
Fortunately.
Cui Xian did not ask Prefect Song to settle the family affairs. He stood up, looked at Prefect Song, and said, "Family affairs are trivial and annoying. I am sorry to have caused trouble to you. But you have also seen that this person has evil intentions. After 20 years of separation, he still has ill intentions towards my family."
"So I shamelessly ask you to send the elders of the Cui clan to help my family be a witness."
Upon hearing this, Prefect Song secretly complained.
Giving me trouble is a nice thing to say.
I'm afraid that you, little fox, had already decided to ask me for the Zhao family mansion the moment I arrived, and to support your family at the same time.
But as the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, this matter is not difficult to accomplish, so Prefect Song agreed.
When Mrs. Cui and other members of the Cui family heard what Cui Xian said, they understood something and their faces turned red with excitement.
Justice, which was twenty years late, finally arrived!
The more aggrieved you were back then, the happier you will be today.
Not long after.
The elders of the Cui family who received the news came one after another. Seeing such a grand scene, they were so scared that they all came forward and knelt down to pay homage to the prefect.
Wait until you understand the cause and effect.
This group of elders from the Cui family scolded Old Man Cui harshly on the spot.
Old Mrs. Cui looked at the group of unfamiliar elders of the Cui family with red eyes, and suddenly felt very bored.
Twenty years have passed.
Most of those biased elders have returned to dust.
She still doesn't know who to blame for all the hatred she had in the past.
Cui Xian looked at his grandmother.
Old Cui's eyes turned red and she shook her head.
Then Cui Xian understood what his grandmother meant.
The eight-year-old boy took a step forward under the gaze of a group of Cui clan elders who were looking on with pity, regret, shame and fear.
"Although I have never met you, I think you are all my elders. You all know the current situation. Twenty years ago, I was not here, so I cannot comment on your actions."
"As a younger generation, I don't want to get involved in the grudges of the older generation."
Under the gaze of countless people, Cui Xian spoke clearly and with a firm face: "But I didn't expect that after 20 years of separation, my family still has to endure such torture and persecution."
"Ask yourselves, elders. Is this fair to us?"
A group of elders from the Cui clan lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look him in the eye.
Who in Nanyang City today has not heard of the name of the little prodigy Cui Xian?
This should have been the pride of their Cui family, but now... it's too late to regret!
No one spoke.
Cui Xian continued, "So, today, in front of the prefect, the deputy prefect, the county magistrate, all the officials in the government, and the folks and neighbors present, I would like to ask you to help my family be a witness."
"My Cui family started from Hexi Village and moved to Zhongjing Lane. We have no connection with the other Cuis in front of us."
"From now on, my family will open a separate genealogy, which is for the Cui family of Hexi Village, Nanyang."
"I, Cui Xian, will take on the responsibility of bringing honor to my family."
The young boy's voice was powerful and his expression was bright and cheerful.
The people around were amazed and applauded.
What a high-spirited young man!
The elders of the Cui clan were heartbroken upon hearing this, and naturally they were reluctant to let such a child prodigy in the clan leave.
But the officials from both the prefectural and county governments were present.
Cui Xian is now in the limelight again.
Even though they were reluctant, they had no choice but to agree. But in their hearts, they wanted to eat Old Man Cui alive.
at last.
Under the witness of Prefect Song and others, Cui Xian's family was officially separated from the previous Cui clan.
This is the Cui family of Hexi, Nanyang.
Old man Cui was detained on the spot by the government for instigating others to annex land and was awaiting sentencing.
Officer Lin gritted his teeth and forced his mother-in-law to take out most of the family assets and sell some gold and silver in the house.
He scraped together money from everywhere and finally collected fifty taels of silver to compensate Mrs. Cui.
